Dolores “Dolly” Gloor

July 4, 1929-Oct. 2, 2013

Age: 84

Residence: Napoleon, Ohio

Dolores “Dolly” Gloor, 84, of Napoleon, Ohio, died Oct. 2, 2013, in Bowling Green, Ohio. She was born July 4, 1929, to Robert and Josephine Cook in Perrysburg, Ohio.

Dolly lived many years in Colorado. She volunteered in the community, making friends along the way. She enjoyed dinners with her family and trips to the mountains. We loved her stories. She was a remarkable woman and a wonderful mother.

Henry W. Johnston, 88, of Dacono, passed away peacefully on Sunday, Oct. 13, 2013, at his home with family by his side. Known for his kindness, the spark in his eye as he drank his root beer and his quick wit, Henry lived a full life, completing it at 88 years old.

Henry was born on May 22, 1925, to John and Margaret (Kramer) Johnston in Gowanda, Colo., a now unknown town near Platteville. He married Ruth Borgmann on Aug. 31, 1952, at Rinn United Methodist Church.

Farming was his passion for over 60 years in the Dacono area. Henry raised corn, wheat, sugar beets, pinto beans, alfalfa, and dairy and beef cattle. Also committed to helping his local communities thrive, he served on the Dacono Fire Department Board of Directors for several years, and was a member of the Colorado Farm Bureau for over 60 years. His farm thrived on family and commitment, and he laid the groundwork for what now is a successful fourth generation family farm business. Winning many awards and acknowledgments over the years, including several from Dakalb seeds, there is much honor behind the Johnston name; his life tells only stories of legacy, integrity and honor.

Henry was preceded in death by his loving wife, Ruth, of 54 years; a grandson, Donald Farley; four brothers, Arthur, Alvin, William (and Alice) and Herman Johnston; as well as three sisters, Marie (and Jerry) Clark, Lorena (and Hugh) Humphreys and Esther (and Arno) Thompson; and numerous nieces and nephews.

He is survived by his sister, Viola; sister-in-law, Louise Johnston; daughter, Janet and husband, Rick Erickson and their two children, Lance and Tina Erickson; and son, Darrell and wife, Cindy Johnston, and their two children, Brandon and Cody Johnston.

While Henry would probably say something now like “we’ll see you in the funny papers,” we’re choosing to end this conversation with his other well known goodbye; “alright…we’ll see you soon.”

Visitation will be from 5-8 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 20 at Ahlberg Funeral Chapel. Funeral service will be 10:30 a.m. Monday, Oct. 21 at Ahlberg Funeral Chapel and burial at Foothills Gardens of Memory. Memorials contributions may be made to Front Range Hospice, in care of Ahlberg Funeral Chapel. Visit www.ahlbergfuneralchapel.com to share condolences.
